I know, I know.
But then, I do like the Capcom games, Knights of the Round say.
Also Batman Returns on the Snes is another one.
I'm hoping this is in that category, rather than in Golden Ass and Streets of Dung territory.

Got all these in HMV, €25 for the lot. Needed a 3DS case as there's all sorts of crap getting into it from being loose in my bag.



Really happy with the condition of this. Took a chance as it was €13 posted from Japan with only 1 picture and a new seller on eBay, but it's really mint and arrived in less than a week including the bank holiday!

The Ciderman purchasing algorithm:

Ciderman: I have a good deal on this game! Should I buy it?

Everyone: No. It's **** and/or you probably won't like it and/or ever have the time to actually play it.

Ciderman: I just bought the game!

(Please note: this should not be confused with the patented Ciderman 'purchase / trade / repurchase' cycle - they are seperate albeit interconnected algorithms)

Ciderman then sells it, regrets it a few months later and buys it back for twice the price.

Hmm, you all know me so well.
Still, you didn't say when I buy something I reckon I might not like, then sell it, then read what everyone else says and I regret it and buy it again.
That would have been Demon's Souls!

Here's todays haul:





The main star of the show being the Wii. It is only my 2nd Nintendo console ever since I bought the Super Famicom 2 years ago!

This model is backwards compatible with Gamecube games as you can see on the top, and it also came the Homebrew Channel pre installed:




I absolutely love when consoles are backwards compatible with the previous generation, like the ps2 and sega mega drive.

And the Virtual Console is the icing on the cake as I can now conquer my shame of never playing 99% of Nintendo 64 games INCLUDING Super Mario 64!

Now all I need to do is order an RGB Scart cable for the Wii.

The seller was so nice they included a 2nd playstation free, and both models have the parallel port which is great. I can now hear the first half of "the best sound ever", unlike with the PS2!

Not a bad haul for €65.

There was one bump in the road with the Wii however, but that should be ironed out tomorrow when I update this thread.

The wii virtual console seems great until you realise that other than a few imports and the tg16 games, they are all in crappy 50 hz mode.

Can't even understand why they would have virtual games in 50hz, when they're certainly not restricted by the hardware.

I guess I'll have to make do with these for the Nintendo 64 and NES, not sure how good they are though:

I fixed the first pic now:




When i was a attaching a second image on the ipad it was deleting the first one.

I wonder if, through modding magic, you changed the region of the Wii to USA & 're-obtained' the vc stuff you already bought but in ntsc versions, would they be in 60Hz? Hmm...

The home brew emulators aren't that great either. They all display in the wrong resolution, it's really noticeable and annoying especially if a game scrolls vertically. With a modded system you can install the NTSC games.

Feck it
I Tesco again
Picked up Goldeneye for the DS for €3 and Singularity next door in GS for the PS3 for a fiver
Too many games!!!

Not great pics(iPhone) but this arrived this evening in my parcel motel.
The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Fabric Wall Scroll Poster. 87" long so it'll take the full height of the wall more or less.

Holy crap that's amazing!

That is stunning, quite beautiful, well done, nice get

Steve X2

Good quality material, comes with holder and some weird hanging system i need to figure out. Not bad for £20 from Amazon UK(well from AnimeListing on Amazon).
I recommend it folks

Very nice, did you ever do anything about printing out the sfc secret of mana cover you were working on a while back?

I'm still not 100 percent happy with the vector I'm working on. Still tweaking it to get it just right and then will get it printed.

Looking forward to see the finished article, box art on the sfc is amazing in general.

That looks cool, reminds me of one of my mates, he has a life size print of vigo the carpathian for ghostbusters 2 framed and on his wall. Really freaky to see, but looks awesome.

Damn it to hell and back!
Brought some of my residents out for a drive in the minibus to Skerries via Rush.
Went into Tesco in Rush to buy the 8 pack of ice cream sandwiches, only €1.75, and walked out with Skyrim for the PS3, only a fiver!
Damn you Tesco, damn your eyes and your gaming bargains that can't be ignored!

STG.Otaku

Weird. They must have got new stuff in. Last visit I did they had some X Factor thing and a music game about some Red Eyed Gherkins, or something like that anyway.

OwaynOTT

All the stores just keep stuff out the back at random and put them out when the stuff on the shelves go low.
Ennis had metroid again during the week and had mario karts for the first time yesterday.
I want it to stop, when will it stop.

Any chance you could nab a Metroid for me? (Trilogy that is!)

Sorry I'm keeping it, it was only one. The other one I have wasn't sealed and was missing the sleeve.
I can pick up a Mario Kart or Monster Hunter?

I'm the same.
I just want to go to Tesco for 2 litres of milk and a little as of bread, rather than walk out with the assembled best games on the Wii for the past 3 years.

If they're 3DS games then yes to both please!

Been meaning to get round to playing it for a while, think I need to replace the power cord on my Dreamcast.

I'll definitely be picking up BoFIV now, been playing 3 non-stop, the mini-games are brilliant in it. I never really got into the first two, so I'm really nicely surprised by how much I like 3!

Update:

So the little bump in the road with the Wii I bought Friday was that it shut itself down after about an hour of play.
It had overheated.

Let it cool down completely and when I powered it back on I noticed the back fan wasn't spinning.
My theory is that the connection for the fan became loose during transit.
The seller (who I worked with before in real life) offered me an instant refund, no question asked or another Wii.
So I got a second Wii from his yesterday for free, and bought a PS3 controller for him for 20 quid.
He is also letting me keep the Wii with the broken fan, which still works perfectly until it gets hot.
Nicest guy ever.


So along with the 2 Playstions I bought Friday, I now have 2 Wii's and 2 Mega Drive 1's!


You know what this means don't you?....

HOLY SH*T, I'M STEVE SI!

I heard of people preferring 3 to 4, I might be the reverse playing 4 first, it's similar chatacters, well Ryo and Nina are in all the BOFs and there's a character similar to Rei in 4 called Cray. My bff loves Rei, "Well, doesn't this just beat all" I still remember him telling me about his catchphrase.

Retr0gamer

The hg101 article says bof4 is pretty bad. However everyone I talk to adores bof4 and think it and dragon quarter are the best. Also my friend that got me into persona and the atelier games loves bof4 so I'd more believe him than that article.

Picked this up:





Which completes the current Zelda spending-splurge for the moment

I take it you picked up an NTSC N64 yeah?

Yeah they're in decent shape, the protectors will finish them off nicely when I get around to ordering them. Yep I got an NTSC N64 a while back, & sold off whatever PAL carts I had at the time. There's not a ton of stuff I'd be interested in on the N64, probably ten games if even, so will pick up the ones I want & leave it at that

CiDeRmAn

I was selling my pal collection off, was going to get a Everdrive 64 instead, aside from a handful of one's I'd keep.
Then I sold none of them
I must look at it again.
Thing is, even though I've a Everdrive for the MD, I'd never sell off my cart collection, but with the N64 I just might.
What's the difference I wonder
